Slip of the tongue and say something inappropriate. Much of what manifests as a personality reflects patterns that emerge from individuals" attempts to resolve conflicts within themselves conflicts are played out through interactions between conscious and unconscious mind.

Motivates people to seek out pleasure with little regard for the appropriateness or consequences. Basic animal desires present from birth, predominant force controlling actions when we are young.
